Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 9 Meeting the Judge Again
I got off the bed, straightened my clothes, then carefully stuffed the book into my arms, picked up the ghost head that had been on the desk for a long time, and I left this room and the Hall of Impermanence.

Standing outside the hall, I tried my best to familiarize myself with the feeling after my mana was improved, it was really not ordinary.Let's go back to the mortal world again. Thinking about it, I should be able to maintain a longer dream time. Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate and walked directly to the ghost gate.

I didn't stop along the way, I just kept going, hoping to return to Yang Shi as soon as possible, thinking about what to do when I go back this time.

oops!I almost forgot to visit Fengdu, a ghost town.Walking on Huangquan Road, I suddenly remembered that I had to pay back five cents to the bun seller, hehe, fortunately I still remembered.

When I came to the gate of the city, I felt a burst of emotion again, this city is really too majestic and huge!Walking into the city gate, I found the familiar street following the direction I remembered.

"Sell buns, sell buns," the hawker's familiar cry came again.

"Bun seller, come here!" I shouted towards him.

"Okay, so it's you, my lord." The peddler said immediately when he saw me.

"Hehe, it's me. This time I came here specially to repay the debt." I said with a teasing smile.

"Hey, I see what you said, ha ha." The peddler also laughed.

I drew my hand into my bosom, oops, I smiled wryly, it's all bank notes, do I have to owe it indefinitely?At this moment, a familiar voice rang in my ear, "How much? I paid for him." Looking back, it was the bearded, dark-faced man who gave me the "Judgement Technique".

"Five Wen," said the peddler.

After taking out five cents, the big man handed it over to the peddler, then smiled at me and said, "Do you still remember me?"

"How can I forget that book, thank you." I hurriedly thanked.

"Hahahaha, you're welcome, I think you're pleasing to the eye too, come on, go have a drink with me." As he spoke, he put his arm around my shoulder and walked towards a restaurant not far away.It's not easy for me to refuse, so I just followed him, but I still feel a little awkward in my heart, I'm really not used to a big man hooking his shoulders.

"Xiao Er, come to us in a private room, and serve all the good dishes you are good at, and two bottles of good Hades wine!" As soon as he entered the restaurant, he said to the waiter in the shop.

"Okay, please come upstairs, the two guests, and I will serve you food here." Xiaoer said immediately.

To be honest, I am really not used to this kind of ancient way of hospitality, but the whole Fengdu is like this, so I have no choice but to do as the Romans do, I hugged the bearded man and sat down.

"Thinking about it, you have already guessed who I am. Don't you want to ask me anything?" Seeing me sitting down, he also asked.

If you see me pleasing to the eye, give me a book of exercises that can be practiced to the level of an emperor?I won't believe anything I say.Seeing that he wanted to mention this matter, I followed his words and said: "You must be Judge Cui. I really don't know some things, I hope you can enlighten me." Seeing that he didn't speak, I immediately said: "You said that you gave me such a good book of exercises because I was pleasing to the eye, kid. I really have doubts. I hope you can give me an answer."

"Haha, that's right, I'm Judge Cui. It's normal for you to have doubts about this peerless exercise I gave you, and I don't want to hide it from you." Speaking of this, Judge Cui paused.Seeing my puzzled expression, I just smiled.

"Guests, this is the high-quality underworld wine you want. Serve these few small dishes first, and the rest will be served in a while." At this time, the waiter came in with a plate.

Seeing Xiaoer leave, Judge Cui continued in a deep voice: "You kid got my exercise for three reasons." Seeing my frown slightly, Judge Cui said immediately, "One is because you are a new ghost messenger. , it seems that there is still a lack of skills, hehe, of course, this is only a secondary reason, and the second is because you are young, unlike those ghosts who have stayed in the underworld for more than a hundred years and more than a thousand years, have so many flowery intestines, there are Very good plasticity: third, do you know what the monarchs have most tabooed about their subjects?"

"Rebel." I said without thinking.

"That's right, rebellion. Now in the world, people say who is the supreme ruler of the underworld?" Judge Cui asked in a low voice.

"You mean King Yama wants to?" Hearing this, I was also nervous for a while.

"That's right, Lord of Great Skills!" The judge urged secretly sighed.Then he went on to say: "In the Battle of the Conferred Gods, Emperor Yin Tianqi Rensheng was seriously injured. Even if he recuperates for more than [-] years, he cannot be cured. King Yama took the opportunity to control the power of the underworld, and wantonly installed his cronies in various high-ranking official positions. Dissidents, in the current underworld, I am afraid that more than [-]% of the officials and servants in this underworld are from the King of Hades." Speaking of this, Judge Cui also sighed slightly.

But I was extremely surprised, there is also a struggle for power and profit in this underworld!In my impression, the underworld has always been a fair and strict place, "Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes", such a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind, and after thinking about it, what does this have to do with me?The battle among the high-level people is their business, as long as I can go back to Yangjian to see the people who love me and I love at any time, so I am only a little surprised by this, and I am not disturbed.

Seeing my indifferent face, Judge Cui just smiled, and then said: "Do you know why King Yama didn't rebel after mastering such power?"

Yes, why not rebel?If it were me, I would have done it a long time ago, and would I still wait until today?

"Because he is not strong enough. The Jade Emperor does not have much ability and can still sit on the throne. One is because he has the list of gods in his hand, which can restrain the gods. The other is that he is the emperor of the heavens who was personally appointed by Hongjun. Who dares to say A "no" word? But the underworld is different, the strong are respected, the strength is enough, the greater the official position, the greater the power, naturally, if you want to become the emperor of this underworld, you must naturally have the strongest mana. throne."

"Isn't Hades the strongest mana?" I asked.Since he was able to place his cronies under Yin Tianzi's nose, he should be as strong as Yin Tianzi before he dared to do it.

"No, his strength is enough, but he is not worthy!" Seeing my puzzled expression, "If you want to become the emperor of the underworld, strength is naturally the most important thing, but only when the mana reaches the stage of the emperor can you aspire to the throne. Underworld, this is an unwritten rule, but fortunately, this rule has always suppressed the ambition of King Hades, and made him dare not act rashly!" He said immediately.

"Could it be that the exercises practiced by the king of hell can't reach the realm of the emperor?" I was a little confused, even the judge's exercises can reach the emperor, let alone the king of hell, it is naturally better.

"Hehe, do you think you can reach the realm of the emperor with just any exercise? Isn't that the chaos of the Three Realms, where all the gods and Buddhas are fighting for the throne of the emperor? Among the three realms, only three exercises can be cultivated to the realm of the emperor , The first is the "Human Emperor's Heart Sutra", the second is the "Heavenly Emperor Xuanfa", and the third is the "Underworld's Artifacts"," Judge Cui explained.

"Then the one you gave me?" I was a little dizzy.

"Naturally, it's "The Art of the Underworld Emperor", but I just changed the cover," he explained.Then he went on to say: "The "Human Emperor's Heart Sutra" has been burned in the Bingxin Tower along with King Zhou during the battle of conferring gods, and this "Human Emperor's Heart Sutra" can only be cultivated by human emperors, otherwise it will directly explode and die. "Xuanfa" has been kept by the Jade Emperor, and the king of Hades has no ability to go to the heavenly court to challenge the authority of the heavenly world, and this "Underworld's Artifacts" is kept by the Yin Emperor. I choose a suitable person to inherit the great line and to rectify the law."

"So you chose me?" I asked, pointing to myself.

He nodded and said, "Not bad."

Hearing this, I was also speechless.Do I want to compete with this King Yama for the throne of the emperor of the underworld?Although there is a good saying that "a man should not be without power for a day, and a man should not be without money for a day", but I never thought about being a man at all!
"Well, I'll return this book to you, and you can find someone to practice." I tried to evade.

"Have you practiced?" Judge Cui asked me with a smile.

"No!" I said immediately, just joking, competing with Hades for the throne, and I was full.

"Really?" Judge Cui smiled playfully.

"Eh, I just practiced the first floor." Looking at his wicked smile, I hesitated and said with a little guilt.

"Oh, let's not say that you have practiced before. If one day I accidentally say that you have read "The Art of the Underworld Emperor", tsk tsk, what do you think the king of Hades will do to you?" Judge Cui said lightly after taking a sip of his wine.

"Fuck!" I couldn't help but swear. "Tell me, what is the strength of Hades?" At this time, it is more important to care about the strength of your opponent first.

"Well, the Yincao Difu is controlled by the ten kings of Yama. The ten kings of Yama are called: King Qinguang, King Chujiang, King Song, King Wuguan, King Yama, King Pingping, King Taishan, King Metropolis, King Biancheng, King Zhuanlun. The one who wants the palace is King Yama of the fifth hall. Although the other nine are coveted for the position of emperor, they also know that their strength is not enough, so they are not very enthusiastic about the position of Emperor Yin. They don't care about the throne of the emperor, the important thing is to ensure their own inherent status. Three of the five ghost emperors have turned to King Yama, and the other two are loyal to Emperor Yin. The attitude of Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin is unknown. As for In the sixth day of Luofeng, the Heavenly Palace of Zhou Jue Yin, the Heavenly Palace of Taisha Liang Shizong, and the Heavenly Palace of Wucheng in the Ming Dynasty have been controlled by the King of Hades. Maintain a neutral attitude. The strength of Yan Luo Wang himself has reached the realm of Xuantian, which is only one level away from the realm of Wutian (that is, the realm of emperors). " Speaking of this, Judge Cui also sighed deeply tone.

It seems that the situation I have to face is very serious, "Shouldn't the king of Hades rebel against the law of heaven and leave it alone? It won't increase any karma, and then directly send him to the eighteenth level of hell, so that he will never be reborn forever?" I thought I want to say.

"The underworld respects strength, and this is also allowed by Tiandaosuo, so, hehe," Judge Cui said with a wry smile.But then he went on to say: "I know you have always wanted to go back to Yangshi to do some things, but this is against the way of heaven, so there will be a lot of karma, and now I will give you a convenience." He took out the ghost order from his arms, and then brushed it lightly with his hand, a burst of blue light flashed, "I gave you the position of wandering censor, you can punish those who do evil in this world, even if your life is not over, as long as you take it away It’s okay to kill his soul, the book of life and death was automatically revised last time, and you won’t have karma on your body. After a pause, he continued, “In the future, you don’t have to worry about karma if you entrust your dreams to others, because this is law enforcement. That's all. "

"Uh, does this count as using power for personal gain?" This, I am a little moved.Seeing him just shaking his head in silence, I also let go of my heart.

"If my mana increases in the future, I can condense a soul body that can be seen by others."

"It's okay." He interrupted.

"Done it!" I gritted my teeth, I could hug my parents without worrying about the karma caused by it, so I went all out!It's rare to fight a few times in life. I didn't fight much when I was a human being in my previous life. Now that I'm a ghost, don't shrink back. I'll kill the bold and starve the timid!
"Hahahaha, good job, this is your new uniform, I'll go." After finishing speaking, he drifted away.

"That, you haven't paid for that yet" I suddenly shouted as I watched his back gradually disappear from my eyes.
